Veteran Virginia Republican Rep. Frank Wolf’s rejection of the Justice Department’s latest bid to purchase the unused Thomson prison in western Illinois has drawn the ire of two leading Illinois Democratswho accused the congressman of sacrificing jobs over politics.

Wolf, a powerful lawmaker who chairs the House Appropriations subcommittee that oversees the federal Bureau of Prisons, said late Friday he was “unequivocally” rejecting a request to redirect $165 million from other programs to purchase Thomson from the state. He previously rejected a similar effort.

In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, Wolf said he didn’t trust President Barack Obama’s administration when it pledged it would not use the prison to house suspected terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. A federal law already prohibits bringing terrorist detainees to U.S. soil.

“Frankly, I do not trust the (Justice) Department or the Administration to enforce the law forbidding the transfer of Guantanamo Bay detainees to the United States,” Wolf wrote Holder. Wolf also noted the Republican-led House had previously voted to hold Holder in contempt over the failed Fast and Furious gun-walking program.

when the DOJ will not say it will never promote a law of blasphamy against religions…. we all need to be concerned….. global communislam appears to be the goal…. as the boot of government continues to bear down on Judeo-Christian beliefs.

I like this Representative. At least he voiced his TRUE opinion of his faith in this administration this should have never been a consideration to begin with since OUR FEDERAL LAW ALREADY PROHIBITS BRINGING TERRORIST DETAINEES TO AMERICAN SOIL.It just never ceases to amaze me how this administration is of the total belief that they do not have to follow the laws of this land! YEP! They think just like muslims!
